[...] Disclaimer: these are random, uninformed guesses... - Is it possible the server has too much RAM? I don't remember where I heard that that can degrade performance, but I'm pretty sure it was on one of the freebsd lists a couple of months ago. - Are you using the same db server as the backend for your development box? i.e. Maybe the lag is between the two servers, and if they're running on the same machine in your case, that could be why you don't see as dramatic a slowdown. Again, these are just shots in the dark :) -Chris
